For this wet and wild outdoor game you simply need a water hose attached to a spigot, various-sized water containers, and a stopwatch (or app on a cell phone).  The game is best played on a hot day, with two or more teams competing for the best time in this “relay”.  After forming a line near the water hose, each teenager on his/her team must use the hose to fill a container of water, run it back to the starting line, and tag another person on the team who repeats, using either another container or the same.  (Hint: containers can be of odd assortment such as Chinese food take-out boxes, plastic cups, shallow lids, plastic urns, etc.)  Each team competes with the same containers for best time.
